An international team of scientists has discovered that the last remaining stable portion of the Greenland ice sheet is stable no more. The new study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, combined GPS data with several satellite measurements to quantify ice loss in northeast Greenland over the last decade. This composite video contains highlights from the researchers work in Greenland, including: a helicopter flying over the Helheim glacier; a calving event from the Helheim glacier witnessed on July 24, 2013 (shown at 20X normal speed); and an animated map of key ice streams in Greenland, including the northeast Greenland ice stream (NEGIS). Other ice streams in the animation are Jakobshavn Isbræ (JI), Helheim Glacier (HG) and Kangerdlugssuaq Glacier (KG).
